Welcome to the first weekend wrap up…
Each Friday or Saturday I plan to publish a list of 3 to 5 articles, tips or resources that my clients or I have found useful for getting your business found online.
Core topics will cover:
- Blogging for business
- Optimising your website for search engines
- Landing page tips
- Using social media to develop and maintain relationships online
- Time management tips to maximise the time you spend working ON your business, rather than IN it
- Tips and tools to strengthen communication with your tribe
This Weekend’s Wrap Up Focuses on Blogging For Business

How To Make Money From Your Business Blog

What If You Feel Really Challenged To Write Quality Content For Your Blog Even Though You’re An Expert In Your Field?
I’ve just enjoyed reading Content Rules: How to Create Killer Blogs, Podcasts, Videos, Ebooks, Webinars (and More) That Engage Customers and Ignite Your Business (New Rules Social Media Series) by Ann Handley and C.C. Chapman with David Meerman Scott writing the forward.
A very easy to read resource (I’m into Kindle versions these days), this book gives great encouragement and practical tips to new business bloggers plus more advanced strategies for the old hands.
If you want help with a blogging as marketing strategy, this book is a great place to start.
